About Lucy
Dr. Lucy Farrow is a Lecturer in Neuroscience (Neurobiology) in the School of Science and Technology at the University of New England, located on the Armidale Campus in McCylmont Building W34, Room 324. She holds a PhD from the University of New England, where her thesis investigated the behaviour, ecology, and neuroanatomy of the Noisy Miner (Manorina melanocephala), supervised by Associate Professor Paul McDonald and Dr. Adam Hamlin. As a neurobiologist, Farrow focuses on how anthropogenic stress affects neural development and cognition in native species, particularly avian species. Her primary research areas encompass neurobiology, neuroethology, and neuroscience. She is associated with the Brain Behaviour Research Group (BBRG) and contributes to neurosciences research in her school.
Farrow's peer-reviewed publications highlight her expertise in avian communication and neural methods. Key works include 'Alarm calls of a cooperative bird are referential and elicit context-specific antipredator behavior' (Behavioral Ecology, 2017, with SJ Doohan and PG McDonald; 40 citations); 'Cooperative bird discriminates between individuals based purely on their aerial alarm calls' (Behavioral Ecology, 2020, with A Barati and PG McDonald; 12 citations); 'Quantitative determination of neuronal size and density using flow cytometry' (Journal of Neuroscience Methods, 2021, with NM Andronicos, PG McDonald, and AS Hamlin; 12 citations); and 'I remember you; Experimental evidence of true acoustic individual recognition in a wild passerine' (2023, with A Barati, A Hamlin, and P McDonald). Her research has accumulated over 65 citations on Google Scholar. She presented thesis-related work at the UNE Research Conference 2023, introducing a novel approach to quantify neuronal densities in mammalian and avian species. Farrow coordinates Neurobiology units NEUR231 and NEUR531, teaching neurobiology, neuroanatomy, physiology, and anatomy.
